Harry Potter: A History Of Magic

The unique exhibition unveils the mysteries of magic and folklore, while celebrating the 20th anniversary of the publication of Harry Potter And The Philosopher’s Stone.

Fans will get to see magical objects, manuscripts and books, alongside fascinating illustrations of dragons, unicorns and mandrakes.

There are original drafts and sketches by author JK Rowling, exploring how she came up with the wizarding world and her magical characters, as well as drawings
